※ General Description
1.About the Multi-room Music System
The HS-6818 is a set of modern Multi-room Music system to your desire.
Except all the functions of the traditional family audio systems, this system is also provided with: 1)
Timer function, that is, preset the specific time and the task to be executed at that time. 2) The
function that different rooms can hear different music at the same time. This system has
another important function. That is, you can control the working status of the host from the room.
For example, from the remote controller installed in the room, you may select the program played
by the host, or control the volume and tone for your room.
The control host of this system has integrated the functions of MP3 player, radio, zone divider,
timer and pre / post amplifier. It is provided with DVD, PC, TV and AUX input ports for peripheral
audio equipment, and line audio signal output port for zone 1 and 2. There are 12 zones, among
which the 1st zone is of 5.1 channel and the others are of dual channel. The 5.1 channel is
available with two input modes, i.e. line input and fiber optical input. There are 12 remote control
data interfaces connected to the wired remote controllers for 12 zones, so that the host and remote
controller set up an interactive dual-way control, providing high convenience for the users.
2.Functional Characteristics of System Host
